Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Shanghai Shenhua

Leonid Slutsky, who's a seasoned veteran in the managerial world, unquestionably led his team to an impressive start this season. Shanghai Shenhua is one of the three sides in the league yet to suffer defeat.

In their most recent match against Changchun Yatai FC, it almost seemed they were about to share the spoils away from home. However, João Carlos Teixeira threw the script out the window to score the winning goal in the waning seconds of the game, guiding his side to a narrow 2-1 triumph. This extended their winning streak in the league to four matches.

With 12 points accumulated from four matches, Shanghai Shenhua sits atop the Chinese Super League standings and has maintained a three-point cushion over second-placed Chengdu Rongcheng FC. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

B. Yaxiong; Z. Yang, J. Shunkai, J. Shenglong, W. Manafa; W. Xi, I. Amadou; Y. Hanchao, Andre Luis, J. Teixeira; C. Malele

Wuhan Three Towns

Despite appointing the services of former Urawa Red Diamonds manager Ricardo Rodríguez, Wuhan Three Towns have yet to meet expectations under the guidance of the 50-year-old this season. The 2021-22 champions have lost three of their last four matches and are unquestionably lacking in confidence in the preliminary stages.

In their most recent match against Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC, they failed to capitalize on their home advantage to secure a comfortable victory, though it has to be said that Liu Dianzuo's sending off in the 58th minute did take its toll on them. Ricardo Rodríguez's team is currently on a two-match losing run in the league and will be aiming to return to winning form away from home. 

With three points accumulated from four matches, Wuhan Three Towns occupies the 12th spot in the Chinese Super League standings, three places above the drop zone and a massive ten points adrift of their opponents in this impending encounter. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

M.Z. Wei; Z. Jiang, J. Park, U. Yusup, H. Deng; R. Baldé, C. He, X.B. Zhang, D. Wang Yi; Pedro, Darlan
